| Placing Lamps Behind Speakers Thank you all for your info.I would totally mount lights in the ceiling, but it's an apartment and though I've gotten away rewiring for ethernet and coaxial in the walls, as well as behind the wall wiring for the TV... I'm reluctant to start putti... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC "PrimaLuna prologue 2 just popped up for 795. This might be the piece you have been looking for. It is an integrated"Where? | |
| Jolida JD102CRC I think I'm going to hold off on the tubes until I have the finances to do something more significant like a Rogue or Primaluna.I've got it bid in on a Peachtree Nova125and if that doesn't work out I think maybe a Creek Evolution 50A with a phono ... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC "Tubes don't guarantee good sound. Its no different than anything else, you still have to pick something that sounds good to you and works well with the rest of your system." Yeah, I totally get this. If you buy junk it sounds like junk. If you bu... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC "If you are open to something else than the Peachtree, see if you can find a good used Creek 5350SE."Ok, I'm open to other things.Honestly I'm just trying to figure out what my best options are.I really would like to try tubes. I seem to be gettin... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC Would that produce enough power? | |
| Jolida JD102CRC Oh, and one more question:Can I use the NAD Phono stage through the pre out into the aux in as a temporary phono stage until I purchase something else like a Pro-Ject Phono Box? | |
| Jolida JD102CRC "That may be a good option for you. The only thing I would add is to be sure you demo the unit first to make sure you like it better than what you have."I've listened to a Decco65 and I liked it. I will say this was on some Dynaudio speakers that ... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC "Also I have owned a jolida 202a and at the time had a Peachtree Nova. I preferred the nova in both sound quality and flexibility. "This makes me just want to get a peachtree and be done with it. It would solve my need for a DAC as well. | |
| Jolida JD102CRC A preamp? I wouldn't be better off getting a power amp and using the NAD as a pre? | |
| 3/8 thread Spikes... Thank you. Ordered. | |
| 3/8 thread Spikes... Reviving this thread because I also need 3/8 inch thread speaker spikes for the stands to my Vandersteen 1Cs. The documentation says they're 1/4 20, but after trying those and finding they were way too small I purchased a few different sizes of ca... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs 3 Did you ever think if I get a turntable I may not feela tube amp is the next move?I've thought about this.From what I can tell the biggest things holding my system up are:The DAC. I'm running sound out of the headphone output on my TV because I ... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs Oh, and just a question: do any other subs match 1Cs? I'm not finding any used 2wq subs for sale. I'm not paying $1500. | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs I think I've sorted out the setup temporarily. I moved them forward and inched my couch forward 6 inches. The stands need the spikes, but I feel like that'll just help tighten things up a bit. Also, I need to close the door behind the right speake... |
